by Stéphan Bordèse (1847 - 1919)

En Prière
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG HUN
Si la voix d'un enfant peut monter jusqu'à Vous,
Ô mon Père,
Écoutez de Jésus, devant Vous à genoux,
La prière !
Si Vous m'avez choisi pour enseigner vos lois
Sur la terre, 
Je saurai Vous servir, auguste Roi des rois,
Ô Lumière !
Sur mes lèvres, Seigneur, mettez la vérité
Salutaire,
Pour que celui qui doute, avec humilité
Vous révère !
Ne m'abandonnez pas, donnez-moi la douceur
Nécessaire,
Pour apaiser les maux, soulager la douleur,
La misère !
Révèlez Vous à moi, Seigneur en qui je crois
Et j'espère :
Pour Vous je veux souffrir et mourir sur la croix,
Au calvaire !
